Elod Beregszaszi: Paper Master

Elod Beregszaszi is a master of paperwork, but not in the normal sense of the phrase. He cuts, folds, embosses and sculpts out of a material most people don’t think twice about. When the average American uses 750 pounds of year, it’s nice to see someone who puts a more lasting use to it.

While most artists working with such a specific medium typically become experts in one form of manipulating it, Elod Beregszaszi is incredibly versatile: creating sculptures, three dimensional pop ups, and expertly folded dispalys.

The fragility of Elod’s work makes it that much more appealing. Like sculptures made out of sand, the perfect use of such a delicate material makes the perfect symmetry that much more wonderful to behold.

Elod Beregszaszi is no doubt one of the true master paper craftsmen of our time. With unique and innovative designs, he has elevated a simple, mundane medium to one that could be proudly displayed in exhibition.
